Out of 10 months this year I spend 3 months away from my home.
It was very hard for me to travel for one month each time and be away from my friends and my pets.
I was ready to cry at night missing my lovely dogs and my cat.
I am happy to be with them now.
Who would you miss the most when away for one month?

Hi polachicago! I never used to go out without my family. Once I and my husband went to out native village to perform some rituals leaving my children in the city at that time I missed them a lot. Whenever we contacted them on phone we both used to cry by hearing their voice. After that we never went without them to anywhere. Keep posting and have a nice day.

Hello pola...nice to see you. I would miss my pets. I would worry that they would be missing me and out of their routine. People are able to take care of themselves but our pets rely on us heavily for food, playtime, attention, affection and just being there. When I'm away overnight, I think of my pets a lot, especially when I'm on the way home. They are always pleased to see me except the cat who disappears for about 5 hours to teach me a lesson...

Yes, isn't that something? My cat was hiding for one hour before found.
She does it all the time if I am away.
This year was hard for us with my constant absence....

My pets, of course. I am really attached to them. I would all the time wonder how the dog is doing or what the cats are up to. :)
Cheers and happy mylotting

I'll feel the same. I have a pomeranian dog. She is really close with me and she is such a loyal friend. I feel sad to leave her everytime I'm away for my holiday. I'm excited to go for a holiday but everytime I'm about to leave, I'll cry for her and I'll miss her a lot and wondering how is she going in the dog boarding kennels. I just can't get away from her. Love her so much!

I wish I could take my dogs with me. Even if I can afford to take my dogs with me to Europe, they would have to travel in luggage area. It is so cold there.
I wouldn't risk their health.

If I am away from my home, I would definitely miss my family. Life looks difficult without family, I can stay for few days away from family but spending months together without them, will become difficult for me.

I would surely miss my cat and mylot friends. I don't think I will be travelling alone without hubby but if it happens I would be missing him too. If this travel is to exciting places I might be able to find amusing things that will help me get through it. But if it's a formal business travel I think I won't be able to. I would want to get things done as quickly as I can and return home :)

If I had to go away alone, I'd miss my pets most. I was in hospital for a month last year and I could speak to my husband and adult children on the phone so didn't miss them as much. It would be the same if I was away somewhere. I'd worry about my dog and miss her the most. She spends most of the time with me and although I know my hubby and son would give her attention and feed her, they wouldn't have the time to give her the exercise and training she needs. Like most German Shepherds she's very much a one person dog and is very unhappy when her pack leader isn't around. My cats would be OK, as long as someone was around to give them attention - they don't care who it is!
My husband as often worked away so we are used to that. He misses the animals too, he says he misses the relaxation of petting them after a stressful day!

Its really tough to be away from the parents and family.I would be missing a lot of people if I am away for one month.Mother,Father,Brother and my Kitty "Cheeny".Those times would be really tough if I really had to be away from home for even a week. I just love my family and pets.

Well, I hope you had a very good time on your vacation regardless of your homesick. I haven't been away from my immediate family yet but to be honest, I could use a vacation from them and when I do, I doubt it'll be right away that I'll miss them. Maybe after a month or two, then my homesickness will kick in.

At the moment, I'm sad to say I don't hany pets at the moment. However, after spending ten weeks in Australia with my daughter and her family, I'll be getting another dog, or two. I had two dogs up to a few years ago, and now we have some space for one again, a trip to the shelter is a priority when we return. t wouldn't be fir to do this before I go to Oz.

My next trip will be my last extended one. There will be some three day tripe to my Wife's mother, but nothing longer, that's why it's time to get a dog, (or two) again. Stay well polachicago.
